At a July 15 meeting with the board ol Supervisors, Mr. Joyce explained a general plan for compensating for similar rock ridges expected to be encountered on the rest of the 99 acres. Essentially, the plan calls for relocation of sediment control and leachate collection ponds, steepening the final grade from 1:7 to 1:3, and raising the final elevation by 15 feet.
And as with the first trench, the engineer predicted that redesign of the longrange fill areas would basically cost the same and provide capacity equal to the original set out in the permit approved by the state Department of Waste Management.
While the department has reviewed Mr. Joyce’s general concept for compensating for the rock, there has been no formal approval yet. The detailed plans for the redesign of phase I are now being studied by the department’s engineers in Richmond. “I talked to Mr. Wright (technical services chief Berry Wright) this morning and he saw no immediate problems with them,” county administrator John McCarthy told the board.
In addition, Mr. Wright has asked for additional geophysical work to provide a clearer picture on the extent of the rock ridges traversing future fill areas. In the interim, clearing and digging is continuing at the Stover tract but the state has directed — and the county has confirmed — that neither landfill liner will be installed nor any trash deposited at the site until further seismic studies are completed and the results assessed.
“The county is now being required to do the testing we had recommended til along,” Mr. Silverman noted on Monday. But he called the seismic studies only “a start” and' maintained they should be confirmed by actual borings.
